I have added this page to try to relay to folks how important taking care of your roof is. I have had customers spend countless thousands of dollars this year on preventable water damage.
Scroll down to read about alternative repairs I perform.
Rubber roofs are often a subject that makes even the most seasoned camper want to squirm at the sound of them. Fact is, if they're taken care of, they'll last an indredibly long time.
The biggest Mis-conception is people who tell you that you need a new roof, for about 3 to 5 thousand dollars. At that point, pick up the phone and call me. Most times roofs don't have to be replaced unless a tree fell on it or something devastating happened.
An other not well known fact. All rubber roofs come with typically a 10 year guarantee. However, you need to read your warranty information. If the appropriate preventative maintenance is not done, you will void your warranty.
The biggest issue of all is the selants around the objects that stick through the rubber liner. ie: plumbing vents, t.v. antennae, and everything on top of the roof. Also where the membrane starts and stops. This sealant needs to be checked every two years at the most. The rubberized sealant costs 9 dollars a tube and usually you need no more than 4 tubes. That's a bargain compared to a new ceiling, walls, etc. Always remember if your roof is constantly in direct sunlite, like at the beach, all these recommended time frames should be cut in half.
Basic care. Twice a year, do it yourself, or have me do it; spray a rubber roof softner / u.v. protectorate on the rubber liner.
Spray Bottle is $21.16 and gallon is $38.40 Shipping is dependant on where you live.
Is your roof badly deteriorated? Has someone quoted you a repair for more money than what the trailer is worth? Fear not, I can cut out rotted areas, patch and coat entire roof with a liquid rubber material. This stuff is expensive, it's $86.00 a can, but it's cheaper than paying $4,000.00 to have a new rubber liner installed. In a nut shell, I charge $30.00 per foot. Example, a 30 foot trailer or R.V., would be $900.00 (price based on no more than 4 each 1-foot areas of rotted wood.)
More to come. Dan
